   It is morally okay to slaughter dogs for meat or leather. Non-human animals have no rights whatsoever. The whole "dogs are smart" argument is bullshit. Especially when you take into account that pigs are smarter than dogs yet nobody, except for vegetarians and vegans bats an eye when they are used for meat consumption. Also pigs are sometimes used as pets and pet pig owners literally don't care that other pigs are being eaten.

     @histoire Too bad. Also, if you have a leather product made in China, chances are it was made from dog leather.

     @waltercool I heard of some writer who wrote in his will to have limited editions of his books published with leather covers made from him.

     Counterpoint: Eating any animal is unethical. It is equally evil to eat a dog or a pig and while the hypocritical double standard in which people accept one evil while disapproving of the other is wrong, that is not an excuse to indulge in and accept both evils.

     @Alex @Mr_NutterButter If you want to minimize harm, veganism is NOT the way to go. Veganism actually kills more animals than meat eating.

     I believe it is best to try minimizing harm done when possible. While it is impossible to truly live ethically or do no harm, it's best to try cutting down on it where we can. If you have two choices and one causes a lot of harm and the other causes a little harm, then all else being equal the latter should be chosen. I can cut out meat and still live a comfortable life without inconveniencing myself much, I can choose not to live a lifestyle I know is causing pointless suffering to innocent creatures for minimal benefit to me. Simple little changes can reduce the harm we cause, and they might not change much in the grand scheme of things, but they do reduce our involvement in the evils of the world. It keeps the soul clean.

     @Alex Both, it's natural to harm and help any number of organisms.

     In the end, right and wrong actions can only exist in a mind complex enough to understand morally.

     We as a species are our own judge and Jerry.

     In this era of history eating animals is fine.

     In the next era it won't be acceptable.

     I live closely to our worlds Overton windows around morality, but that doesn't mean I believe in it. I simply have to follow it to socialize with other people.

     Do you seek to minimize or maximize the harm you cause?

     I didn't mention it earlier, but it is also morally okay to slaughter cats for meat and leather too. Kill any non-humans animals as you like.

     In fact, I think the best way to solve the stray pet problem is to just convert them to meat and leather. It will keep our streets safe while boosting the economy!

     @xianc78 brilliant idea, as if people never fucked up the ecosystem by eradicating a particular animal only for birds or vermin then to consume everything and then some more because their natural predators disappeared
